Shower tray repair for Oulton homes

Common questions in Oulton

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Oulton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Oulton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How we handle shower tray repair in Oulton

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Oulton and across Suffolk.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oulton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need shower tray repair in Oulton?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
